Taliesin, however, woke of his own accord; he had heard the crash of Noah reaching the bottom of the stairs and was intensely curious as to what the noise was. Sleepily he went out and saw his brother pulling the book, or at least trying to, up the stairs. Puzzled Tal went to Noah asked the pup what he was doing amidst yawning and stretching. The day just couldn't begin without a good yawn and stretch, at least, that was Tal's requirement.
While he had asked, and did want to know what his brother was up to, Taliesin was thinking over the dream he had been awoke from. He remembered being out in some think woods, and he was being chased, but not in a bad way. It was his mother chasing him, and she was playing, but she stopped, and started crying. Taliesin went to her and was trying to comfort her, but she kept crying, and then she was gone, and Naniko was there. Confused he backed away, but Naniko stalked towards him, he was suddenly afraid, but he didn't know why. "Nani?" he asked, no longer sure if it was her.
It wasn't.
The wolf changed, and suddenly it was a bear, tall, strong, and angry. The bear let out a terrifying roar and Tal started running, but the pup tripped over his own paws. he was tumbling, tumbling, then falling. Down and down he fell never landing, but eventual he stopped falling. He was just floating, caught in the air, black and cold. What was this? he wondered frightened. He didn't like the feeling, it was so empty, like some horrible void. He yelped, but he couldn't hear it, the noise never came back to him, he couldn't smell anything, nor see. Left blind, deaf, and unable to smell he floated there, scared and alone, waiting to be rescued.
Rescue never came, or at least, not in the dream. But he supposed now that Noah has saved him from the nightmare, even if it was unwittingly. He thought to thank his brother for it, but knew that the pup wouldn't understand, so he left well enough alone, waiting for Noah to explain the noise, and his current action.
